Model Navigation Worksheet

Common Assumptions

Baseline Demands Two Data Entry Options

o Enter or link to an existing demand forecasto Use model to grow current demand by

population Plumbing/Energy Code Adjustment

o Model can adjust for impact of existing plumbing/energy codes as necessary

Demand Disaggregationo Peak/Off Peak Seasonal Demandso Customer Class Disaggregation

Avoided Costs Two Data Entry Options

o Enter or link to an existing avoided cost forecast

o Use model’s avoided cost calculator Model’s Avoided Cost Calculator

o Short-run avoided O&M• Water Supply• Wastewater Treatment

o Long-run avoided or deferred capacity

• Calculates present value of delaying and/or downsizing peak season capacity expansion

Setting Up Conservation Measures Two Specification Options

o Build from scratcho Import pre-defined measures from libraryo Pre-defined measures can be customized

Library currently includes 25 measureso 13 residential measureso 8 CII measureso 4 large landscape measures
